my life was not in vain proved by the stripes on his back our sins have been covered open the gates and set me free look on me send forth your fire one last chance to throw down my life cover me here i am before your throne you look at me as i turn away endless shame stripes my face i look to you for i am lost your out stretched arms hold me tight the look in your eyes takes my fear my hands are raised up to the sky i’m living breathless in my solitude
